After sabotaging Blood Cross's plan twice in a row, Ye Qiu felt they wouldn't simply let it go. Despite him being the one disrupting their plans, if they were to be afraid like this, then they wouldn't be Blood Cross.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu dialed Zhang Aiguo's number.

"Ye Qiu? What's making you call me today?" Zhang Aiguo was quite surprised. Previously, when he begged Ye Qiu to take action, he tried everything and even wore out his lips talking, but Ye Qiu was unmoved. If it weren't for the matter involving Blood Cross, Ye Qiu wouldn't have taken action at all.

Therefore, he was quite surprised by today's call.

"I'm calling you this time about Blood Cross." Ye Qiu didn't hold back and got straight to the point, "Earlier, I've disrupted their plans twice. They might become so enraged that they'll retaliate against Huaxia. During this period, you'd better keep an eye on any outsiders."

After listening to Ye Qiu, Zhang Aiguo remained silent for a moment. If someone else had told him this, he might have just paid minimal attention. But Ye Qiu was different. Since even Ye Qiu took it seriously, he had no reason to ignore it.

With a very serious tone, Zhang Aiguo responded, "Don't worry, we'll closely monitor the situation. But if necessary, I hope you can step in."

"No problem. As long as it's related to Blood Cross, I'll take action." Ye Qiu knew Zhang Aiguo, this old leader, quite well and made things clear. As long as it concerns Blood Cross, it's Ye Qiu's business. Anything outside of Blood Cross, well, sorry, I'm retired...

Zhang Aiguo understood Ye Qiu well, and his words directly overturned the plans he had in mind.

He originally planned that if Ye Qiu stayed in close contact with the Demon Corps, even if retired, it wouldn't matter as long as Ye Qiu was willing to take action for the Demon Corps when needed.

"Alright, I've said what needed to be said. If any mishaps occur, I won't be held accountable." After finishing, Ye Qiu abruptly hung up, showing no courtesy to Zhang Aiguo.

"This brat..."

For this disrespectful fellow Ye Qiu, Zhang Aiguo felt both anger and affection. If it was another soldier, he would have ordered them to a military court long ago. But Ye Qiu was different; he was Huaxia's legend, rendering countless services for Huaxia. Zhang Aiguo could only reluctantly put down the phone.

...

Meanwhile, at the Blood Cross headquarters in Europe.

The news of Jade Qilin being taken by Ye Qiu had already reached the headquarters.

The large conference room was filled with people. Sitting around the round table, Blood Cross members were all pounding their chests in anger.

"Demon King! And again the Demon King! He's disrupted our plans twice now!" The Controller, seated at the head seat, had blood-red eyes, utterly infuriated with Ye Qiu.

Previously, whenever Blood Cross members encountered Ye Qiu, they suffered significant losses. Those minor grievances might have angered him, but they were largely inconsequential, not leading to significant loss for Blood Cross. However, these two occurrences were different. Whether it's Jade Buddha or Jade Qilin, they poured in endless amounts of money and effort, seeing these matters as critical to Blood Cross's future development.

"Jade Buddha and Jade Qilin are essential items for Blood Cross's future growth; we must retrieve them at all costs!" The Controller yelled at the Blood Cross members.

"But... the Demon King seems even stronger than before. Not even Blood Dragon was his match..."

Someone quietly voiced their concern. Blood Dragon was Blood Cross's top expert; if even he wasn't a match for Ye Qiu, then who among Blood Cross would be?

"F*ck! Didn't you hear what I said? I said we must retrieve these two things at any cost! Since Blood Dragon can't, then dispatch X01!" With his calm demeanor gone, the Controller was like a gambler pushing his luck.

"What? You can't do that."

Upon hearing the Controller's order, Blood Cross members were shocked, immediately voicing opposition.

"That's right, you can't do this! X01 isn't mature yet..."

"Indeed, if X01 encounters any problems during the mission, he might completely break away from our control, possibly becoming a mere killing machine."

"So what?" Facing the opposition, the Controller merely smirked, "Since we can research X01, surely we can have X02, X03, and so on. Whether he becomes a killing machine no longer matters. Even if he truly becomes one, I'd welcome it!"

After saying this, the Controller paused, sweeping his gaze over the room, then said, "Since the Demon King wants to meddle, we'll let Huaxia become a living hell!"

"Hiss..."

The Controller's words made everyone gasp in shock, sending shivers down their spines, leaving many speechless.

Although X01's capabilities aren't as high as Blood Dragon's, sometimes prowess isn't everything. Blood Dragon is an individual, with thoughts and concerns, whereas X01 differs. He lacks independent thought; his brain only carries out tasks unconditionally, thus his explosive combat power would undoubtedly be astonishing.

Should he completely lose control, however, the terror would be magnified. No one could restrain him, as he'd only perceive living beings from the dead, laying waste to everywhere he traversed, creating hell on earth. An apt description would be a ticking time bomb on the brink of explosion at any moment.

"I support the Controller's decision!"

"I support too, since the Demon King is reckless, let him taste Blood Cross's might!"

"Yes, he must be shown Blood Cross isn't to be trifled with!"

Amidst this, some expressed agreement.

Driven by their hatred towards Ye Qiu, these voices gradually silenced those previously opposing.

Indeed, until the Demon King is eradicated, Blood Cross will remain unsettled.

The animosity between both sides is irrevocable; it's either Ye Qiu or Blood Cross being wiped out, and they've unequivocally chosen the former.

"Determined to kill the Demon King!"

Immediately, everyone in the Blood Cross headquarters's conference room reached a unified stance.
